Frequently Asked Questions
The See & Spell Wooden Boards are recommended for children aged 4 years and up. The set is ideal for preschoolers who are beginning to recognise letters and sounds, and works well for children in their first years of school who are learning to spell simple words.
Each wooden board features a picture of an object along with cut-out letter spaces spelling the word. Children select the matching wooden letter tiles and place them into the correct spaces to complete the word. The picture provides a visual clue to support children in working out the spelling independently.
The set features a variety of simple, common words paired with picture boards - typically covering 3 to 5 letter words appropriate for early readers. Common words in the set include everyday nouns and objects that children recognise, making the connection between spoken and written language intuitive.
See & Spell develops letter recognition, phonics, spelling, word-picture association, fine motor skills, and concentration.
